A bold, embellished top served as the main accessory paired with layers of sheer, pleated black paneling at the Givenchy fall 2014 runway show. Try this option from Theory for a similar look.

At Tom Ford, the warmest maxi look of the season came in the form of this red velvet design with matching velvet turtleneck.

Forget the pencil skirt and copy this Donna Karan look by pairing a crisp white blouse with a black maxi skirt and thin belt.

Proving metallic isn't just for dresses (or warm weather), Sienna Miller wore a high-waisted maxi skirt (similar to this one from Proenza Schouler) with a long-sleeved crop top in NYC this past October.
